PS4 And Xbox One: 10 Outrageous Incidents You Won’t Believe

The world has a strange habit of tending to collectively freak out whenever new gaming consoles launch. It’s certainly a rare event and so naturally, it’s met with copious amounts of hype. For the most part though, the reactions are just strange and cannot be explained rationally.

Even big businesses and corporations get in on the craze. Everyone wants to be a part of the next generation of gaming; it’s just that various outlets have a bewildering way of showing it.This goes beyond simply buying a marked up console for $700 on Ebay too, we are talking about stories that could justifiably have their own Twilight Zone episode.

Without further ado, I present 10 outrageous incidents pertaining to the next generation of consoles. Some cases will have you heartily laughing, while others honestly just might lower your faith in various aspects of humanity.

When a Microsoft fanboy purchases and urinates on a Nintendo or Sony console, they high five their buddies and feel like they stuck it to those companies and their fanbase. But in reality they made themselves look like idiots. They pay hundreds of dollars for something that they are just going to destroy. Its a waste of money and shows that they have more money than brains.

When the PS3 first came out, they were $600. My cousin bought one and smashed it in front of my house because I said the Xbox 360 was garbage (which I said because I already had two of them that had both gone bad within days of getting them, less than a year after the 360’s release). When I said I was going to buy a PS3 when I saved up the money, he decided since I insulted “the greatest piece of machinery in this world’s history” (yeah, he really said that), he decided wasting $600 just to teach me a lesson would somehow hurt my feelings. Which I just laughed at him because his mommy and daddy bought him both consoles (he’s spoiled) and he got grounded for smashing something that cost so much. Me on the other hand, I worked and earned the money to buy my consoles, which is why I didn’t feel bad not wasting any more hard earned cash on the 360 which would just get the RRoD.

So to any fanboys (Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, doesn’t matter), buying a console you don’t like to urinate or smash it to “stick it to the other fanboys”, you’re just looking like idiots. No one thinks you’re badass, they just think you have more money than brains.

And the guy who smashed a PS4 at the midnight launch is an even bigger idiot than the guy who urinated on one. You stand in a long ass line to shell out $400, just to destroy it mere moments later thinking that it’s going to hurt anyone’s feelings? These “console wars” are the dumbest things ever, because people will do asinine things to try to stick it to the fanboys of an opposing console. You’re not hardcore for standing in a long line at midnight and spending hundreds of dollars on something you’re going to smash.

Just so Americans know the XB1 is retail $700+ in the UK so not only did he read the word “photograph” he also genuinely believed he was getting an XB1 Day One edition on Ebay for retail, safe to say hes a fool and the “it was for my son” nonsense is clearly an attempt to another from whoever it is hes hoping fixes his stupidity.

Had no idea about the Kinect giving you a foul when playing the NBA2K14 game. That’s jsut flat out invasion of privacy, but then again, that’s what the Kinect is all about. Trying to control how you do things, even in your own home. Pathetic.

reck has a point honestly. Before people told Microsoft we won’t have it, they had Kinect implemented as mandatory. Even still , they’re driving what the technology CAN do but without REASON to. There needs to be a balance. Calling plays is neat but getting fouled for swearing is ridiculous. I’m shocked 2K actually put this in the game

They spend $400/$500 on a system, destroy it, and upload the video to YouTube. What happens? Views. LOTS. The videos are shared, used in articles, etc. Those views generate revenue to the uploader that very much exceeds the 400 they spent on the system. They’re not dumb, they’re smart.

I hate this feature. I get technical fouls for saying post up and double team, thats so weak! The other day I got a tech for my brother calling my name from the other room cost me the game. Now that’s that BS
